Larsen-and-ToubroMumbai, Oct 7 : Engineering major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Monday said it has secured two EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) projects worth Rs. 1,100 crore in the hydrocarbon sector in the UAE and Qatar.

The UAE contract from Takreer, an arm of state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, is for construction of a new aviation fuel terminal at the Abu Dhabi international airport and is scheduled to be completed in 30 months, L&T said.

"In Qatar, L&T has bagged an EPC contract for third-party gas interconnecting facilities in Ras Laffan from Dolphin Energy Ltd," a statement here said.
